Arrived in the evening, April 16. Now still here.
The room is chic (as for us who have been in different hotels and in different situations with the settlement), the panorama of the Persian Gulf and Sail - the hotel Burj Al Arab. Ida is great, everything is very fresh and high quality. The staff is polite and respectful.
About the moments that worried me.
Clothing. We get up early enough and like to go to breakfast - and to the beach. You can wear beach clothes for breakfast, but not like in Egypt or Turkey - clothes should be opaque! The restaurant on the beach is the same, although there is a calmer attitude towards people in swimsuits. Today I went to the tunic and for lunch - it was an uncomfortable feeling, because the interior, music and clothes for 90% of people as in a restaurant, not on the beach. Eg , breeches (or skirts) and a T-shirt would be more appropriate.

Number. There are enough bottles of water in the room - there are always 4 0.5 bottles. Clean twice a day, make the bed, put water, hang towels. However, we put 1 dollar a day.
The bath has everything, even bath salt. Two bathrobes, two pairs of slippers of different sizes.
Food. There are several types of cuisine on different tables, where the chef immediately prepares: English, Italian, Thai. Indian, Arabic, Japanese… Sushi lovers will be especially happy - unlimited!
Personnel. There is a Russian-speaking manager everywhere, and there are also Russian-speaking staff. The staff (they are not UAE residents, but employees) smiles, and you sincerely believe that we are happy! Before the trip we watched a film about the UAE, they said outright that any job in the UAE for employees from other countries - fortunately, but this job is easy to lose, then they try their best. Maybe so, but the atmosphere is really friendly.
Beach. Super clean, towels are provided on the beach. But there are no change of clothes and very few toilets, which is strange.
I will write the rest of the divination upon my return.
